Living Room Shutters In Bluff City

In contrast to draperies, blinds, and shades, living room shutters match your circular, triangular, octagonal, arched windows - even your french doors. They’re custom made to your window’s specifications. Each and every corner, angle, and curve is preserved. And your guests will take note of your eye for architecture - and appreciate that you thought about their privacy.

If your living room will be used to entertain, the functionality of the window treatment matters as much as how stunning it looks. You can move the shutter louvers with a tilt rod to get more or less light. And you can open the panels all the way to operate the window.

For a formal living room, go with window treatments that are more sophisticated. Plantation shutters feature broad horizontal louvers encased in a frame. Whether you choose weathered reclaimed wood, a traditional white paint for Polywood®, or a deep stain for Ovation® wood, the resulting window covering matches your living room’s decorating style.

Living room shutters keep you and your guests comfortably warm throughout the evening. Simply close the shutters completely for temperature control. And with Polywood shutters on your living room windows, you’re getting ultimate energy savings.

Barn Doors For Living Room Windows

Sliding barn doors as window treatments play off of the living room’s rich color palette. Select an espresso stain or midnight black paint to balance white walls and light colored furniture. For living rooms with dark colored walls or eclectic furniture patterns, a barn door with snow white paint or a fruitwood stain is a better option.

Enjoy the scenery outside the window when you move the barn door panels on a track. With the panels on the sides of the window, they become standalone pieces of art, framing the view beautifully.
